POLICE AND TRAMPs.
A Pitched Battle Between Them in East
st. Louis.


ST. LOUIS, May 1.-For some time past
the city Of East st. Louis has been in
tested with lot of tramps and idle,
worthless fellows, who spent most of
their time peddling small articles which
the police were satisfied were stolen. The
tramps had a camp in the eastern outskirts
Of the city and to-day, Chief of Police
Walsh ordered it TO be broken up and the
tramps driven out of the city. Lieutenant
Erwin, with fifteen officers, went TO the
camp this forenoon and ordered the tramps
to disperse and leave the city. They paid
no attention TO the orders and the po-
lice advanced to arrest them, firing
two or three shots in the air to in
timidate them. To the great sur
prise of the police the tramps re-
turned the fire, but luckily without effect
The police then charged the camp in force,
firing as they advanced and the tramps ill
ed in all directions, some of them plunging
into a slough near by and swimming for
their lives All of them got outside of the
city and joined another camp, where
the consolidated forces, defied the police.
The latter, having no authority out,
side the city, made no further
efforts to arrest the fugitives
but left strong guard on the spot to pre-.
vent them from re-entering the city. On
going over the field again the police found
one of the tramps groaning on the ground
with pistol ball in his spine. He was
taken to the County Hospital, and will
probably die. The sheriff of the county
has been notified of the congregation OF
armed tramps in his territory, but it is not
known what action he will take.

THE WESTERN LEAGUE.
Apparently a Scheme to Benefit
Al Spalding.
Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept 27.-The representa-
tives of nine Western cities met to-day
at the fremont house to perfect the ar
rangementS by which the Western asso-
citation of professional base ball clubs
was to be formed. The meeting was
held from $50 un til Z o'clock, and was
conducted with considerable secrecy.
One of the reasons for this was that the
attorney for the Oshkosh club of the
Northwestern league, was in Town with
an injunction to stop the meeting. The
different cities were represented as fol-
ows: st. Paul, A. M. Thompson; Min
lneapolis, r. o. Foster; Milwaukee.
James A. Hart; Chicago, S. g. Morton,
proxy for A. &. Spalding; Kansas City,
f. E. Menges: Des Moines, G. III. Sher-
for Joseph E. Garneau; Lincoln,
Dave Rowe; ST. Louis, E. E. Menges.
proxy for Chris Won der Abe. A tenn
porary organization was perfected by
electing E. E. Menges president, and S.
q. Morton secretary and treasurer. A
committee of three was appointed on
constitution and bylaws. Owing to the
presence of the gentlemen from Osii-
koSh the names of the three comprising
the committee were kept very dark, so
as to give the attorney no Oppostunity
to serve his papers. Enough was
learned, however, to convince your rep
rosentatiye that Spalding's man Morton
is one of the members, and that the Chi
cago base ball autocrat will come very
near shaping the future of the new or
ganiZation. The committee is to report
at the next regular meeting. to be held
Oct 25 at the fremont house. Much of
the time of the meeting was taken up by
discussing the plans of Chris Won der
Abe. of st. Louis, as submitted by L. E..
Menges. The st. Louis magnate
WANTED THE EARTH.
He insisted ON having the st. Louis
members of the new association subor-
dinate to the Browns, or as sort of
training school for the latter club. The
schedule was to be so arranged as not
to interfere with the Browns games in
st. Louis, andnO Sunday games were
schemes were sat down upon almost
unanimously, Mr.. Menges only voting
him a place i'll the new organization,
and Lincoln, Neb., was given the place
st. Louis desired. 1t was ordered by
the meeting that schedule committee
be appointed at the regular meeting
in October, but that no schedule should
be constructed until the National league
has arranged their games in March.
The st. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee
and Des MoineS clubs will complete
their representative schedule in the
Northwestern league. The only new
club to be organized will be that at Chi
cago. Up to date, of course, nothing
has been done towards engaging play
ers. but it is understood that the best

PLAYED TWO GAMES.
Minneapolis Wins a Game From
Des Moines and Ties Another.

Two ball games were played yester-
day by Des Moines at Minneapolis, and
the home team should have had them
both, but as it was, it won the first and
the second was declared tie, after the
fifth inning. This was the work of UNI
pire Fessenden, who is the poorest
apology for that important Office ever
seen in Minneapolis. If he had been
hired member of the Des MOines
team he could not have more materially
aided them. The Minneapolis team
beat ten men in the first game, and
would have done the same in the second
had it not been called. The home team
made general change all around, and
as Il result presented the best front it
has had this season. Halves played the
second and Murray the first bag
without skip: indeed, the only
error of the two games was
very eXcuSable tumble by Patton.
Murphy was scored an error in the mid
die garden for permitting man to take
second base over his monkey work with
the ball. The versatile international
played ball, however, and his ubiquitous
coaching was the feature of the day.
In the second game he so ratified Clark
that he was unable to cut the plate.
Klopf pitched in both games, and was
strong throughout. Kennedy was
pounded hard in the first game, while
the outfield pulled down seven long
flies. Minneapolis won, hands down,
by the following score:
